My title
Tessa Teri is a social media fan who likes to share her experiences how fun to live and work on social media webs. She love to discover a lot of things on the web and will compile them through this blog.

This year is me being creative, motivated and inspire by many different art works that I see and could ever think. I like to show here on my blog that I am creative and like to design, draw, and photography. I usually get bored and instead sitting around and watch TV, I do read and take an opportunity to enhance my talent, skills and interest in interior design. I have been dreaming of designing a house interior with modern, classic, industrial, mediterranean, tropical, rustic or eclectic style. Since I am not in a right place that my status right now is being a wife to a great husband of mine, the only thing and best I can do is to create style for our room.

Okay, this is what I call minimalism on my hanging shelves. This is inspired by Mr. Kate especially the frames with handwritten quotes in it instead a photo. It gives a vibe of simplicity and a breathe. The other frame is a drawing I drew from Pinterest which gives you a look of curiosity that actually looks two people that is about to kiss each other. Also a couple picture in a glass frame, a red japanese plate from daiso with a piece of art drawing and a scented wood fragrance diffuser that gives a smell of sweet vanilla aroma.

This artwork piece I got from my phone while I am looking for towels inside the home centre at the mall. I like the feathers and love to draw them soon. This is sort of inspiration and a great piece to look every now and then to push myself to draw and color more.

A beautiful piece of photo from my cellphone again I took when I was inside MIA park with my husband. We walk around and found this place heading to the recreation which I will do a Zumba with Filipino community, then we stopped and enjoyed this art of scenery with floating vintage boats on the water, and a Doha state buildings backdrop, it is so gorgeous.

Oh yes, my cute and sort of funny husband holding a piece of my drawing of the latest 2017 Jordan shoes. He actually want to buy this for no reason, so I just drew them. He can scan it everyday and look, probably not to buy a pair of them. It’s a realization that it’s only good when you look at them, not just by wearing them. Well, good work in drawing, you spend all the money doing the art. 🙂

A cute little lamb I drew before I went to sleep, wishing that we will have a little cute human to nurture and care. I had fun with this one.

My masterpiece of my first try to draw using color pastel I bought from daiso. I fine this so beautiful since I love flowers esp tulip. It is actually more beautiful if you will received a real flowers to make your day brighter and more inspiring. I hope you my hubby, is reading this because even though I have said many times that I love to receive flowers and you just keep ignoring it, this time you will buy roses, tulips, stargazers and others and bring it them to me with sincere and not an obligation.

So if not, then just let be it and wait…. I think I will just buy flowers or pick up them to avoid expectation. 🙂

I am going to share tips and guide on how to avoid acne, pimple and breakouts and also some basic skin care products to apply. Our body is made up of skin literally but, our facial skin is different from the rest of the body. Our face is very rich in pores, it will grow more visible if you will not consider the basic skin care tips that I will give you so, let’s get started!

Let’s understand the awful things that might appear in your face. How do you feel if you got an acne below your cheeks, awful right? Honestly, even a pimple it gives stress in me. I even panicked looking for products that would remove the red bumps but, in the end you will realized the mistakes you’ve caused your pretty face.

Common Facial Skin Problems

Pimple/Acne

Dry Skin

Oily Skin

Blackheads/Whiteheads

Wrinkles

Before (September 2017, when I stopped the CTM rule, due to humid weather here in Doha and the mix of cold and hot weather)After (Now November 2017, applying the CTM rule everynight and skin care regimen)

How to avoid these common facial skin problems:

Hydrate you facial skin with water and cleanse them with facial foam or facial wash

Tone with miscellar

Moisturized, apply moisturizer that rich in vitamins

There are lots a lots of skin care products in the market, they are also have been commercialized in televisions, paper ads and billboards. They are too deceiving because of the creativity of their marketing techniques using models, attractive graphics and believable quotes. The only main goal is to have a clear and good skin, free from acne and having a glow face. Beauty consultants and dermatologists are also in the line, handy on giving you an one-on-one beauty advice to widen your knowledge in skincare line. What will it cost you to take advice and test new skin care products, that depends on you.

There’s no perfect beauty unless you treat your body skin as a holy. Before, I get into bed I made sure my face were cleanse, tone and moisturize.. It’s an essence of being a lady, it shows that you truly take care of yourself because you want to wake up with cleansed face.

Night Routine

Basic Skin Care:

Cleanse you face with facial foam wash and rinse

Toning

Moisturize

Achieving a Glow Skin, you can apply these steps twice/thrice a week.

Remove make up using make up remover (if you dont have make up on skip no.1)

Cleanse you face with facial foam wash and rinse

Tone using miscellar water

Apply essence of lotion

Apply ampoule

Apply Serum

Emulsion

Mask

Apply an eyecream

Moisturizer

Are brands important? I don’t stick in one brand for example the toner, after finishing “the secret key toner”, I switch to garnier miscellar toner. Well, they are in the same line unless it cleanse/tone my face but, it doesn’t matter and if it’s fit in your budget you can buy best toner.

Facial skin produce natural oil, when the dirt touched the surface of the skin it will produce blackheads so the dirt comes in, it is color black that will appear in pores. There are ways to protect pores and minimize the elargement of pores and using clay mask is the key.

There are may ways on how we can take care of our skin. I like to experience different products and learn from it. I do use natural plants and organic food like aloe vera, green tea, banana peel, lemon, oatmeal etc. which helps my skin look younger. Looking young is a new trend for women then now it’s a hobby.

Disclaimer: I am not a dermatologist nor paid to post this article. This is just based on my learn and experiences of the products. I own my body and skin, so I can apply any products I like.

The combination of Lemon and Ginger will give you a great flavor, sour with spice.

I am giving you my 7 reasons why you should drink lemon ginger tea.

It gives relief to a body aches and muscle pain

Can reduce this damaging and disease-promoting inflammatory cascade to bring your body back into balance.

You can use lemon ginger internally and externally to treat inflammation.

Lower Blood Sugars and Improve Heart Disease Risk Factor

It has a warming effect and stimulates circulation.

Helps improve the immune system

It is a natural expectorant that breaks down and removes mucus

I acquired acute bronchitis when I matched my back to it’s window and was super tired practising a dance. I was treated and prescribed an anti-inflammatory and anti bacterial medicine drug for 7 days. The treatment went well but after months it usually came back and took years that I rely on antibiotics. It gives my chest discomfort, like I am scared all the time. Cough and back pain are intolerable. Until, a friend told me to use ginger with lemon as a medicine and give it a try.

Ginger now is like a best friend in the kitchen, I use it in all the food I cook such as sinigang, adobo, curry, and other menu. My mom also use ginger when she felt discomfort on her stomach which really gives her a relief. It is safe and recommended, a natural way to treat yourself when you sick in pain.

Beauty or Blemish Balms a must have for face application. There are a lot of BB Creams in the market and I haven’t tried them all, checking the ingredients are necessary. I always ask myself before testing “Would I actually try and buy this?”. The fact that now I buy products online, finding legit seller selling authentic brands are crucial. I started using a BB Cream five (5) years ago, the offer came from a company named REDLOGO Lifestyle. I was consistent using their BB Creams for years because they are affordable and great for my skin with no breakouts. The range of the these BB Creams I am using is around 400 pesos with discounts until now they are offered in Redlogo Lifestyle store branches. Also tried day creams fron Olay and now I find my new love that’s Missha.

Check all BB Creams I tried with their descriptions, and benefits below:

My first BB Cream is F.A.B Anti Aging SPF 30from REDLOGO Lifestyle, a revolutionary skin transformer that helps reduce the signs of aging by plumping the fine lines and inhibiting muscle contraction on existing wrinkles, while also concealing imperfections, minimizes the appearance of pores, even skin tone and protects against UV rays that cause premature aging. experience the magic of this multi-functional BB Cream and use as:

My latest is BB Cream is the M Signature SPF25/PA++ #21 from Missha , a korean trend product that have been running on my feed with great reviews. Korean products are way expensive on my budget but if you look into your skincare stuff, it will skip your concealer, foundation, cc cream and moisturizer. Missha M Signature differs from the previous BB Creams I used, this one has really good texture after application, it is very light, doesn’t feel like your wearing any creams, looks flawless. This one has many botanical extracts and natural ingredients that makes stand out to all BB Creams I tried.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to think for yourself. Throughout this beautiful day you have hundreds of little opportunities to move your life in the direction you want it to go. You have to spend your time on which you think it may value you, worth to do and makes you feel good. Sometimes you need to chill alone, you may like to go to the beach, watch the sunrise or sunset, walk to the quiet places or better go to a quiet cafe and just stay there drink your favourite beverage and just spent your time there.

Choices, choices, choices.

I keep bringing up myself to learn things and come up with something to write. The choice is to open your mind to seek opportunities and inspiration. It is not easy because there are no easy ways though. But it always starts with smile, try to smile and smile until your cheeks cramps, and that will hurts as I said. There is no easy way. You have to keep on trying and try and try harder until it makes you comfortable.

Your day is always important as the sun and the moon give us, so make sure you learn somethings and try new things. Reading and writing are a good exercise for your beautiful mind and lovely soul. Always look in a bright side and seek for positive. Actually staying positive doesn’t just make us happier, but it could actively be helping to keep us healthy.

As a Catholic it’s a traditional to attend every Sunday for a Holy Mass lead by a Priest. To listen to a word of God is like a food for the soul. The Church is a reminder to me why we have to believe in Christ who suffer and sacrifice for our sins. He died on the cross because of us. The Church in this modern era is quite colourful and eccentric, it is polished for people, events and occasions. It is a house for everybody with a cost, fess and voluntary gifts and offers. A beautiful church is also a picture how well the place you are living.

St John Evangelist Catholic Church is quite known in my place, I live my whole life and studied here. I studied at St John Catholic School and can’t miss a prayer every hour, all prayers must lead and learn. The Church now is just the same and the differences are it’s now rich in colours, windows are now stained, aesthetic ceilings, stunning nave, same size of sanctuary, church door to impress with carvings that tells us a story, gold leafed altar box with details and carvings or apostles, beautiful white chancel painted with details, some brick walls near church doors and marmol floorings. The church is a beautiful place to talk to God and to reminisce, here are some photos I took.

After the mass, as I step outside the door, I have seen vendors inside church premises selling balloons and sampaguita for altar. There is a small chapel where you could seat in solemn and pray intimately with Virgin Mary.

Cleaning the floors is very important in the morning. Sweeping and mopping the floors is a must. An everyday brushing the floor by using a broomstick to remove the dust and hair pets is kinda my thing.

I owned five indoor dogs. They love moving around the floor and stick their body to my legs.
Now I am hungry. I am thinking to cook eggs with maling meat to stuff on gardenia bread. Also will make an egg with tomatoe for mom’s breakfast.

After eating, I had fun watching my 6mos old niece in her cerelac morning. She is adorable, love the baby smile, so warm.
The dogs are running in and out the door. They are old, the oldest is a 12 years old dog and have not gave up on taking care of these animals. My heart is too soft for them like they are my angels, unconditional love.

I have not stop doing household chores. Everytime I am done on washing the dishes, laying on bed is what I could think of. But, I still have to feed the dogs. Ay yay yay!
Cleaning your own body is essential. Daily bath is needed. Clean clothes are important.
Dogs need a bath too. I wanted to give them a furry bath, it’s like I have no time. There are groomers that can however I don’t have budget to pay for their service.
I’m going to washroom now and clean myself to have a great excuse for dogs.
Now I am thinking of my husband, he is sleeping at this time. I have always wanted to be with him and have fun time together. Learn each other and agreeing with everything we like.
Now, it’s my bath time!
